[york away to this!]

Stupid religious cunts.

Stupid religious cunts.

Bunch of stupid old cunts arguing over it gets everyone killed.

Should have some sort of rule where the entire families of leaders go on the front line in these wars

Outside of the obvious that all out war in the Middle East isn’t a good thing. But Because also all out war in the Middle East plays directly into the hands of Putin diverting all attention from Ukraine. It was seen this time last year when Hamas attacked and Russia took advantage of the west’s distraction.

All out war in the Middle East would be a far bigger distraction.

Western powers will soon be forced to prioritise between Ukraine,defending Israel on four fronts, containing Isis in Syria/Iraq and keeping an eye on the Chinese who are doubtless sat back with the popcorn enjoying the spectacle and contemplating snatching Taiwan.

It didn’t stop Kings waging wars against each other 700 years ago. Look at the Battle of Crecy, and Edward III’s attitude to his son engaging in the battle. We are a warring species. That and our outstanding intelligence will do for us, I’m afraid.

I think it’s going to take more than a mere snatch for China to successfully occupy Taiwan.

Absolutely, unless the US are stretched enough by conflict elsewhere.

Some of us are a warring species, those of us that aren't partial to a bit of good ol' invading have evolved more than others.

Hope Elon Musk gets his space trip me thing sorted and we can punt these war cunts off to a new planet to fight it out away from the rest of us.

Israel sent the first rocket into Iran to kill a member of Hamas.

It was a bomb planted by an Iranian intellegence officer as Mosad got to him somehow, and Hamas attacked Israel and are at was with them.
Anybody with half a brain knows who is funding Hamas.

RAF Typhoons involved over the skies of Israel last night. Probably couldn’t do anything against the ballistic missiles.

Ah, I see the conspiracy theory has already begun.
If the Israeli defences didn't work there would be a lot of dead Israeli's and destroyed major buildings. There aren't.
You do know if the target is an unpopulated area the missile gets through as the interception would be a waste of time?

Looks like the Nevatim airbase got hit quite badly. Consistent with the Iranian’s saying it had largely attacked military sites.

In that sense military sites are better prepared to protect people so hopefully we don’t have any deaths reported.

Except the 'brilliant' iron dome doesn't deal with anything more than short range missiles.

Hypersonic are a different prospect for the most part.

You mean the hypersonic missiles that aren’t really hypersonic missiles, they are just very high altitude air launched ballistic missiles, a bit like strapping a minuteman 2 to a plane and launching it (for reference a minute man 2 back in the 60s had a speed of around Mach 23).

Whilst the Russians love their showboating around hypersonic missiles in reality they are very low manoeuvrability ballistic missiles which can be hit and have proven to be taken out by the aging Patriot system.

A true hypersonic missile would also have high manoeuvrability making it a much more challenging prospect. The new Mako missile developed for the F-35 and F-22 but also compatible with EFA is a true hypersonic along with the ground/sea launched Dark Eagle.

China would be the last to be emboldened, watch the North Koreans IMHO. If the peninsula hots up China might be tempted. Even the US won’t be able to prioritise 4 fronts.

Who in turn believe they have right or god on their side? Honestly, it's not even worthwhile trying to work out which side has the best murderers or started it. It's like trying to sort out a playground fight between 10 year olds with a Liverpudlian sense of victimhood/entitlement.

That was from the April attack mate.

Yeah, just realised and deleted.

My bad.
I have total sympathy for Israel but I just feel that they have had more than their pound of flesh for the attack on Israel and the innocent people slaughtered on that day

Ooooh didn’t know you could do that. I usually let the mods tidy up my shit posts (not that yours was shit). Good to know!!!

 

[Pelegrinni]

We have a live concentration camp and modern day holocaust in the name of Gaza. Easy for genocide loving backers in the West of the neo narzis in Israel to say it’s anything else. Just what do these evil murdering scum have on us to compel the unwavering backing.

Gaza also has a border with Egypt. Israel was not in control of that border. Thousands of Palestinians used to cross the border to work in Israel every day before the war. Zero were allowed into Egypt.

The only genocide that's happened so far was in October 7 - every living soul encountered were either murdered or taken away as hostage.

The war will continue as long as people continue to spread disinformation on the internet.

Not good if one they let through is a nuke or a chemical weapon but unless Iran is intent on suicide that won't happen.
